Assessment of the Possibility of Developing 15-minute Cities Based on the Cities of the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area

One of the main tasks facing modern cities is the fight against excessive motorization and its negative consequences. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the concept of the 15-minute city gained popularity, becoming the next step in urban planning development. Carlos Moreno, the author of the concept, identified four key dimensions of the 15-minute city: density, proximity, diversity, and digitalization. This study is dedicated to assessing the feasibility of implementing the 15-minute city concept in the cities of the Tel Aviv agglomeration by analyzing their compliance with the 15-minute city requirements, as well as analyzing pedestrian and bicycle accessibility. As a result, the cities and their parts were divided into four groups based on the feasibility of implementing the 15-minute city concept, and measures were proposed for the full implementation of 15-minute cities.
